Nearing a “imminent” appointment, according to Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, following four months without a head coach Pascal Jansen’s withdrawal from the shortlist over the weekend upset fans, who had assumed the Black Cats would select him to replace Michael Beale. Although Marti Cifuentes was one name that kept coming up as a favourite, Liam Rosenior currently seems to be the centre of attention. After Hull City fired the 39-year-old player at the end of the season for not making the playoffs, he received several offers from EFL teams.
However, it appears that he will soon be joining Sunderland, as he is reportedly scheduled for another round of negotiations this week. Since Rosenior didn’t make the top six despite having players like Tyler Morton, Jaden Philogene, Fabio Carvalho, and Jacob Greaves in their ranks, many supporters have expressed doubts about his coming.Many Hull supporters have also criticised his dull football style on social media, but many more were equally let down by his dismissal.
Liam Rosenior is “passionate” and “incredible.” TalkSPORT broadcaster Hugh Woozencroft has now backed the coach and advised Sunderland to “give him some time,” despite the fact that the Black Cats are unaware of what to anticipate. He said the following on X: “If Liam Rosenior joins #SAFC, they have an incredibly driven manager who will give it everything he has to make it successful, to build relationships with the players, staff, and club, and to entertain the fans on a Saturday. Extremely great passion and spirit. Give him some time.
Final negotiations between Sunderland and Liam Rosenior, a top manager target, are scheduled. After more than three months since the Black Cats fired Michael Beale, it seems like Sunderland is nearing the end of its search for a new manager. Over the last week, some names have withdrawn from consideration; Pascal Jansen has fully withdrawn from consideration, while long-term target Will Still has been named RC Lens manager. Liam Rosenior, the former manager of Hull City, seems to be the front-runner for the Sunderland position as a result of this. Despite finishing seventh in the Championship, the 39-year-old was fired by Hull City at the end of the previous campaign. Acun Ilicali, the owner of the Tigers, stated that the player’s playing style was the primary factor in his dismissal.
Rosenior is rumoured to have spoken with Birmingham City about the position before meeting with Sunderland representatives. And now Alan Nixon has given a significant update on the state of affairs.
